Li Zimo's tough attitude made Bian Xiao a little confused about what to do. He didn't want to get into a serious fight with Li Zimo. After all, Li Zimo represented the interests of the Queen Mother's faction behind his back.
After taking a deep breath, he advised again: "Zimo, listen to your father."
Using his father's identity to suppress him was the method that Bian Xiao found most appropriate.
Li Zimo hesitated to speak, and what he wanted to say was swallowed back in his mouth——
There is a five-year age difference between the two, but the identity of "father" can make Li Zimo speechless.
A father is in charge of his son, what can a son do to refute it?
After taking a deep breath, Li Zimo's anger calmed down a lot, and he replied quietly: "If my father really regards his son as his own, then let him do his best for his mother and concubine!"
"Since he is his father's son, he must listen to his father's words. Why does Zimo also want to be known as unfilial?" Bian Xiao straightened up. Although he was in a wheelchair at this time, his momentum was not lost.
Li Zimo couldn't help but sneer as he tasted the word "ye" in Bian Xiao's mouth -
Everyone believed that the regent was responsible for the Qing Dynasty, but everyone in the court believed that the regent was plotting to kill the late emperor and forced the late emperor to appoint him as regent. He became an "unfilial son" in the eyes of the courtiers.
Shaking his head, Li Zimo compromised: "Since Yafu said so, I should listen to Yafu."
It seemed that Li Zimo had finally been talked through, Bian Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the group returned home in a hurry, waiting for Qi Haoxuan to pick up He Yanyan from the tomb and take him there in the evening.
Late at night, Bian Xiao was in the room and saw that the time was up. He gave Qi Haoxuan a look, and the latter immediately headed for his destination with understanding.
When Qi Haoxuan took He Yanyan out of the coffin and was about to put a butterfly inside as a sign of the princess's reincarnation, suddenly, a black shadow came from behind and gave him a solid kick.
After holding He Yanyan and taking a few steps back, Qi Haoxuan saw that the person who came was also wearing night clothes and a bamboo hat. He didn't look at the appearance at all and thought it was the emperor's spy.
Qi Haoxuan didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the other party. After all, he was also masked. If his true identity was discovered, it would be very embarrassing.
However, the other party had no intention of letting him go and started fighting immediately.
He Yanyan was lying on the ground, half asleep and half awake. She could only feel the sound of fists and kicks in her ears, and from time to time a gust of wind would pass over her face.
He quietly opened one eye, wanting to see what was going on——
She originally thought that someone in the house was squaring off, but she didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, she saw two men in black fighting in the deep mountains and wild forests.
He Yanyan was placed under a tree by Qi Haoxuan, where the wind was not blowing and it was quite safe.
She estimated the distance between the two people and herself. Although she didn't know where they came from, He Yanyan could also tell that they were evil, especially their boxing and kicking skills. There were similarities, but one person's punches could kill him.
, a single soldier comes to block them, it is difficult to tell them apart, and they are all experts.
Reluctantly holding on to her body, she crawled back a certain distance. After realizing that the two people's attention was not on her at all, she immediately——
Leave this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible!
She didn't know how long she walked. When He Yanyan couldn't hear any movement from behind, she gradually stopped. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, she sat down leaning against a tree, and then carefully considered what happened today.
things——
I just ate a meal today, and then I seemed to be choking and out of breath. Why is it like this now?
She tried hard to recall everything that happened today, but her memory only stopped there.
He staggered and tried to walk towards the palace, but soon there was the sound of chasing behind him.
"Did those two people catch up?"
Because he didn't know the identity of the visitor, He Yanyan made a guess. Although it was close to the correct answer, it was way off base——
Could it be that Bian Xiao thought I had choked to death and buried me, only to be discovered by these two tomb robbers who wanted to sell my body to be used as a bride?
It was a bit unbelievable, but He Yanyan felt that this seemed to be the answer that was most consistent with the real situation.
"No matter what, we have to get rid of these two people first..."
It was very inconvenient for He Yanyan to walk in the woods dragging her sick leg, and it was so dark that she couldn't tell her direction at all.
Looking at the dark woods in front of her, she felt discouraged——
In the past, whenever she encountered an abyss, she would always be accompanied by Fu Jianli.
But now...
Although the two people behind her were approaching in her direction, they were still entangled and fighting, which bought He Yanyan a lot of time. She simply tore off her clothes and tied them on her hands.
I made a climbing rope with my feet, and climbed up with a jump——
I had practiced Qing Gong before, so obviously I was pregnant, so my body was naturally heavier. But this was not the main reason.
The injury on her leg prevented her from using Qing Kung at will, but when Fu Jianli taught her how to practice martial arts, she was able to pass the basic skills. Climbing a tree was no problem for her.
What's more, with God's help, it started raining heavily soon. By the time the two came to He Yanyan's tree, the surrounding footprints were already covered in mud, making it impossible to distinguish them.
Qi Haoxuan knew that he was in trouble. He couldn't be entangled with this person for too long now and had to get away as soon as possible, so he took out the magic powder from his sleeve pocket and threw it towards the other person's face, and immediately escaped.
He returned to the palace in a hurry. As soon as Qi Haoxuan came in, Bian Xiao looked at him and frowned: "What went wrong?"
Qi Haoxuan gasped and came to Bian Xiao's side, then knelt on the ground: "King, this subordinate is guilty!"
Blinking his eyes, Bian Xiao remembered that when Qi Haoxuan knelt down to admit his mistake for the first time, it was because of his negligence that he had to bear the name of a secretly powerful general. Now watching him kneel down, Bian Xiao felt that he had benefited
Sorry.
Squinting his eyes, Bian Xiao guessed: "The jade pendant is missing?"
When he heard Bian Xiao's words, Qi Haoxuan panicked and wanted to take out the jade pendant from his chest, but at this time he found that——
The jade pendant is also missing!
The whole person was stunned on the spot. Qi Haoxuan swallowed hard and his voice began to tremble when he spoke: "The King... Your Majesty... Your Majesty deserves to die..."
Seeing Qi Haoxuan so nervous, Bian Xiao was stunned for a moment. He slid his wheelchair closer, then leaned down and raised the man's chin with his fingers: "Is the jade pendant really missing?"
That was the token that the girl left for him. The two of them would use this thing to recognize each other in the future!
Qi Haoxuan pursed his lips, not knowing what to say: "King, the jade pendant is missing... I... I am incompetent..."
Squeezing Qi Haoxuan's hand tightly, Bian Xiao stared at the man's face for a long time, but in the end, he just shook it off and let go: "That's it. I remember the appearance of this thing, I'll invite you later."
All you have to do is do it."
Unexpectedly, Bian Xiao's temper suddenly changed so well. This made Qi Haoxuan feel relieved a lot, so he continued:
